Its time to get rolling in Photoshop, but before we get all toolsy you gotta understand the significance of Image Size in Photoshop. Its a lot different than Illustrator and its a lot more important.

Really focus on these videos or someday your amazing poster design might turn into a playing card design very quickly. Image Size control isn’t glamorous but it is absolutely essential if you plan of using Photoshop for design, photography or any other creative purpose.
